A removable pane! I like you more and more. An Urgos 030 (sigh) still a pretty good unit. Are you sure you haven't done this before? Talking escape wheel and stuff. lol. The pawls we call pallets and the whole assembly that holds the pallets and has the piece that runs outboard of the mechanism then down  and terminates with eiither a right angled slot or a pin or a 'T" is called the verge. Being an urgos we must now determine if your escapement (escape wheel, pallets, verge) is of the type autobeat or non-autobeat. Your gonna have to pull the movement to oil it. It's impossible to reach every oil point unless the movement is in hand with the dial removed. Step one will be to remove the weights then the pendulum. Then depending on how you configured the case you hopefully will be able to remove the usually 4 screws that hold the seatboard with the movement attached to it from the rest of the case. Again depending on configuration you should be able to remove movement still attached to seatboard and the dial attached to movement as one unit. This would be the ideal way and is a big plus for later on. Use caution when handling to not grab, pull on or twist the leader(the piece of flat stock that the pendulum hangs from) as the suspension spring that the leader hangs from is fragile. When its out snap a pic of the suspension spring. That way we will know if your unit is autobeat or not. Oops. forgot. Way easier to pull the movement if you remove the chime rods assembly first.
